Charlottetown Thermal Generating Station was a natural diesel oil power station owned by Maritime Electric, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The plant was primarily used during periods of peak demand or when the power supply from the mainline is impaired.[1]
The plant was the main source of electricity for the island until the first cable to the mainland was finished in 1977.
